Peaches are being sold for $2 per pound. If x represents the number of pounds of peaches bought and yrepresents the total cost of the peaches, which best describes the values of x and y?

Respuesta :

1) x = pounds/peaches bought
2) y = total cost of the peaches
3) formula would be: y = $2x

but i don't understand what you'd want to know...

Let

x----------> represents the number of pounds of peaches bought

y----------> represents the total cost of the peaches

we know that

Peaches are being sold for [tex]2\frac{\$}{pound}[/tex]

so

the equation that best describes the values of x and y is equal to

[tex]y=2x[/tex] or [tex]x=y/2[/tex]

The relationship between the two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation

therefore

the answer is

[tex]y=2x[/tex] or  [tex]x=y/2[/tex]
